Reusable Block Not Updating Across Pages

Key Points: You edit a reusable block — but changes appear only on one page, not site-wide.

You insert your pricing table as a reusable block — edit it later — but find the old version still appearing everywhere else. What happened to the magic of reusability?

🔍 Possible Causes

  • Block converted to regular block on that specific page
  • JavaScript error preventing autosave of the reusable block
  • Multiple people editing without saving the master block

🛠️ Solutions

  1. Ensure you’re editing the reusable block and not a converted copy
  2. Check Site Health → REST API or console for save issues
  3. Update block centrally and double-check all instances

📌 Extra

Consider naming your reusable blocks clearly to avoid accidental unlinking or edits.
